Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 145
The two dealers were also afraid when they saw Lu Zhishen, who was so big and majestic, with a sword on his shoulders.

Then I thought that this afternoon Sun Xin had ordered the big and small bricks to inform the dealers that they should be happy to receive a fat monk. Naturally, he recognized the person in front of him and dared not answer honestly.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "Returning to the monk, our land is different from other villages. They are all cultivated in a unified way, and there is no shortage of water or fertilizer. Moreover, human support is used when farming. How can the cultivation not be good? ? You see that the crops on the farm are all of average height, that’s because every family is not behind, if the crops of any family are not growing well, the owner has to go and see it himself.”

Lu Zhi was puzzled when he heard the words: "Could it be possible that he can dispatch these things without using money? Why can't he give money to you for farming?"

The middle-aged farmer said: "Of course it is impossible to ask the farmer to subsidize money. Our family has income, and we can use the money to buy fertilizer and animal power. The farmer is grateful if he can give us some advice on farming. "

Lu Zhishen nodded, and said strangely: "But you can't have everyone rich in your village, can you?"

The young farmer replied with a smile: "There is a supervisory committee in our village, and everyone joins the committee. Every year, they always take out some money and deposit it in the supervisory committee. Then you can lend money to buy seeds or fertilizer."

Lu Zhishen nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "That's it. This supervisory committee must be his own way of lending money. The interest charged must be heavy. He only forces you to spend a lot of money to farm for him."

At this time, farmers in several nearby fields were about to finish their work and go home. They passed by with their farm tools on their shoulders. They saw Lu Zhishen's tall stature, and everyone was amazed. They gathered around to listen to what they had to say.

The nearby dealers all laughed when they heard what he said.

"How important is it to earn only [-]% of the interest for a year? Anyone is willing to borrow it when it is used for farming."

"[-]% interest per year?" Lu Zhishen was very surprised. He had never heard of such a low interest rate in these years, and it was rare for relatives to borrow money with such a low interest rate.

A farmer next to him said with a smile: "The money of the supervisory committee is the money raised by us among the dealers. Although owner Sun Xin also has [-]% of the shares in it, he refuses to buy more because he wants the supervisory committee's money." It means that the money is handled by the Supervisory Committee itself.

The annual interest of the supervisory committee is discussed by everyone. We farmers lend out the surplus money, and we can get an income close to [-]% every year, which is very generous.

Who of you can guarantee that there will be no failures, if the interest rate is set high, it will be your turn to borrow money from the Supervisory Committee, but you are not cheating your own people? "

"Can he really not take back any points?"

"You monk, our Board of Supervisors publishes the accounts every year. We can calculate everything clearly. Right and wrong can be judged by ourselves. What Master Sun Xin has done is convincing."

All the dealers nodded when they heard the words, saying that Sun Xin was indeed fair and honest.

Lu Zhishen was stunned for a while, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't believe his kindness."

Seeing that he didn't believe him, several farmers didn't care too much about him. At this time, it was almost dusk, and everyone was talking and laughing, and they were about to leave. Lu Zhishen chased after him a few steps and said, "Didn't you already finish your farm work? Are you in such a hurry to go back and do it?" What?"

The middle-aged farmer said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to talk to the monk, it's just that I'm going to the school to pick up the children for dinner."

"What? You have a school in your Sun Family Village?"

The farmer nodded, "Now the owner of Sun Xin has specially set up a school in this Sun Family Village. As long as they are the children of the farmer, they will be sent to the school to study when they reach the age of five, and they don't need someone to take care of them during the day. Mr. Ziyou took care of them. Master Sun also took care of their meals."

Lu Zhishen was even more puzzled, "Isn't it possible that he still pays for your studies and exams? Aren't you a customer?"

However, those farmers shook their heads and laughed: "We are all children who are tenants, how can we take the imperial examination? Sun Xin's owner reads to the children knowledge of writing, writing and arithmetic, and they can read and write. And so on, but they don’t talk about it.”

"I see that it makes sense for Master Sun Xin to teach our children some real knowledge. For people like us, the imperial examination for studying is a matter of the sky. It will be great if you learn such skills in the future. If you are capable, go to Sunjiaji to be an accountant for others, and if you are really clever, you can go to a medicinal material workshop or a yarn workshop to be a worker for others. It is a blessing to carry a hoe to the ground like us all day long."

In fact, Sunjiazhuang has not provided free education to all children in the whole village. It is not because Sun Xin lacks the financial resources, but because many farmers are unwilling to send their children to school. Children who are a few years old are considered less than half of the labor force at home. Going to the cooperative to drive cattle or collect some firewood can also earn back wages, especially for girls. Most people would rather they work at home than let them go to school.

For these people's thoughts, Sun Xin just persuaded them, and did not choose to force changes. The social system is based on social productivity. Sun Xin is very clear that the social productivity of this era cannot adapt to the social system of the compulsory education period .

The few farmers who are talking to Lu Zhishen now are also women in the family who work in the hemp yarn factory, and their family income is high enough, so they choose to send their children to school.

There are only thirty or forty families in Sunjiazhuang who send their children to full-time school.

But even so, when Lu Zhishen came to the gate of the school with the two dealers in disbelief, and saw a large group of children coming out of the school, his eyes widened in shock.

The middle-aged farmer who talked to him before is actually a grandfather. He watched his grandson run out of the school, and quickly hugged the child in his arms. The child happily said to the grandfather: "Ah! Lord, today I learned a new soup song in school."

"Tangtouge, that's Yaogong's skill, right? Have you read all those words?"

"Mr. recognized the money and praised me for being smart."

"Okay," the farmer was very happy: "My family also has a literate person, please recite it to Grandpa..."

In fact, the farmer's family conditions are just enough to have enough food and clothing, and patches are still piled on his clothes. Lu Zhishen looked at such a patched farmer holding his grandson in his hands, and the child shook his head all the way and followed the grandfather on the road. On the field ridge, Lu Zhishen suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

He practiced martial arts since he was a child and was illiterate, but now in this Sun Family Village, children from such a poor family can read and recite Brother Tangtou. Although he still doesn't quite understand the reason why Sun Xin made them read and write, he always feels that the children in front of him Dozens of literate children born from poor families seemed to contain a powerful power that he had never thought of.
